Difficulty Level: 2

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen tart cherries, pitted
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch or flour
  • a splash almond extract, optional

Directions:
Heat the cherries over medium-low heat in a saucepan and cover.
Cherries will lose considerable juice after a few minutes, so remove from heat quickly.
